My Own Adventure: Cycling Solo And My Path to Inner Calm.

Hello @WorldMappin Community! Here’s my latest blog and it happened yesterday. I want to share with you guys something simple and yet deeply meaningful—”My Me Time”. No grand escape travels, it's just me. It's my bike, nature and the open road.

Yesterday, I asked my husband if I could come along to his office. There were only 12 employees and it was my day off. I don't like to stay at home. He said yes but he told me I will get bored. I said I will not get bored, I will stay near the river and I will see what will happen next.

My husband’s office happens to have one of the most beautiful views. A direct sight of the Danube River. Did you know??? That the Danube is the longest river in the European Union. It just carries water and it also carries the history and strength of the river. And the river is always known for its stunning beauty.

Early morning around 6:00 AM, started with a peaceful bike ride together. It’s not far from our home, just a short around 20 minutes and a scenic ride that already sets the mood for the day. Going to his workplace was definitely moving away from the stress, from work.

When we arrived at my husband's workplace, he started doing his job. And I stayed outside alone, with the Danube River stretching peacefully before me. I heard birds chirping, trees swayed and the calm water in the river was telling me “Take your time and everything would be ok. Taking a break, I really want to just enjoy the beautiful view I had yesterday. While I sat there, boats and ships added a view of the river.

After peacefully having my me time, I decided to go around the place. I hop on the bike again. I explore the place without any plans or destinations. It's my own adventure, no plans, no expectations. It's just me and my bike. I started to pedal and this week our weather is so hot. But I don't care at all and I truly love what I'm doing.

I rode around slowly and it led me back to Patince. The green trees around it and the deep teal hue of the calm lake water under the cloudy sky was so beautiful. It was a peaceful place, stayed for awhile. Just looking around I felt so relaxed and connected with nature. And sometimes, I appreciate the simple beauty of nature and I feel so relaxed.

After that, I continue my journey going to the other side, The Wellness 1. There are boats that offer tours on the Danube River. That time, there were boats parked on the river. For me, Patince is a perfect place to enjoy the water, nature and boat ride.

I explore without a map or plan—just moving with the breeze. I was on my own and just my bicycle for my first solo adventure. Yesterday, I have chance to reconnect with myself and feel the beauty of my surroundings.

There’s an incredible comfort returning to the basics. Breath fresh air, the rhythm of my own pace, and the absence of noise. This was more than just a break and its my healing journey that I needed. No expectations at all, savor the moment I have.

Eventually, I got hungry. I didn't go back to my husband's workplace, They have their own lunch together. I message him, I will eat alone and enjoy my moment. A trip again going to radvaň nad dunajom. There's a restaurant named Sedliacka čarda. The owner of the restaurant is my husband's workmate. We’ve been there before but that time for drinks only. And now I will try their food. For 6 euros I have soup and a main course.

I choose Pečená krkovička, dusená kyslá kapusta, žemľové knedle, its in Slovak Language. I had a wonderful meal and a plate of Roasted pork neck, stewed sauerkraut, and bread dumpling. Savoring the moment with my delicious meal. What a great deal and it cost 8.20 euro, including my cola.

After my lunch, I rode back to my husband's workplace. I stopped again because something caught my attention. There was a beautiful set up, a garden display, mannequin parts under the ground, telling me it's summer time.

Finally I arrived, back again to watch the river and I have peace.
My simple trip was my kind of adventure, I didn't need a suitcase. It's my time for myself and to breathe again. It's not expensive and it's so priceless to me. So, it doesn't mean being alone means being sad. I have my peaceful adventure and I enjoy my own company. This self-found peace is a gift I give to myself.
